Invoking the Graphical Installer from the Command Line v12

The command line options of the Advanced Server installer offer functionality for Windows systems that reside in situations where a graphical installation may not work because of limited resources or privileges. You can:

  • Include the --mode unattended option when invoking the installer to perform an installation without user input.
  • Invoke the installer with the --extract-only option to perform a minimal installation when you don’t hold the privileges required to perform a complete installation.

Not all command line options are suitable for all situations. For a complete reference guide to the command line options, see Reference - Command Line Options.

Note

If you are invoking the installer from the command line to perform a system upgrade, the installer will ignore command line options, and preserve the configuration of the previous installation.
